How do I practice self compassion?
We lack a lot of self compassion when it comes to our body image
The mean things we say to ourselves and how negatively we talk about ourselves
“I hate my body, stomach, stretch marks, rolls”
“I’m not good enough, worthy, attractive”
“Ew, I look so fat and disgusting”
So I put together a easy to remember acronym - ACT
Awareness, Acknowledgment
Challenge, Change, Care
Thankfulness, Throw it away, Train yourself
ACT is my go-to for anytime I’m speaking negatively about myself
It stops me from going on this downward spiral of self hatred and self loathing and numbing out with social media, binge eating, etc
It’s a practice, we need to train ourselves to react differently then what we’ve been doing
The next time you say something bad about yourself, try practicing ACT and let me know what happens 🧡
